AWS Services can install an expansion joint or movement joint that will safely absorb the heat-induced expansion and contraction of construction materials, absorb vibration, hold parts together, and allow movement due to ground settlement or natural building movements.
An expansion joint is a mid-structure separation designed to relieve stress on building materials caused by building movement induced by: thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, sway caused by wind.
Building faces, concrete slabs, and pipelines expand and contract due to warming and cooling from seasonal variation, or due to other heat sources.
AWS Services can repair cracked structures and add expansion joints to existing structures.
